Filmmaker Norm Novitsky Outraged by High Percentage of Americans Who Don't Know Their Rights

Online, June 16, 2013 (Newswire.com) - In a society where the average person has access to any information literally at their fingertips, a staggeringly high percentage of Americans don't know the basic rights laid out over two hundred years ago - way before the iPhone was even conceived. One filmmaker is set out to change that.

A recent Newsweek survey revealed that 38% of Americans polled would fail a U.S. citizenship test - the same test required for any immigrant seeking U.S. citizenship to take. Filmmaker Norm Novitsky is seeking to change this through his next motion picture, In Search of Liberty, a look into the constitution.

"If you don't know your rights, it is easy to lose them. We have to inform the public on the importance of the constitution," says Novitsky. "If we continue to bypass the constitution, it will no longer exist. We don't need change. We need to go back to our roots, as Americans and as citizens."

There is hope. A survey conducted by the American Revolution Center revealed that over 90% of Americans think it's important for U.S. Citizens to know the history and principles of the American Revolution. This is where In Search of Liberty comes into play. With literacy rates on the decline, the best way to get a message across is through film.

In Search of Liberty will visually demonstrate the application and relevance of the Constitution to modern-day America. Filming is expected to begin later this year. For more infromation on Norm Novitsky or In Search of Liberty, visit http://www.insearchofliberty.com.
